Answer 1

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver' executable needs to be in PATH.

To launch chrome browser using ChromeDriver you need to pass executable chromedriver location with executable itself into executable_path.

You should try as below :-

from selenium import webdriver

PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
DRIVER_BIN = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, "bin/chromedriver_for_mac")

browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = DRIVER_BIN)
browser.get('http://www.baidu.com/')

Or set PATH variable using command with executable as :-

export PATH=$PATH:/Users/wyx/project/python-scraping/se/bin/chromedriver_for_mac

Then try to Initialize ChromeDriver as :-

from selenium import webdriver

browser = webdriver.Chrome()
browser.get('http://www.baidu.com/')
